  Episode 96: The Schism of Addiction and Vice with Elizabeth Roberts

  Jul 6, 20261h 7m

  Not everyone views addiction in chiefly negative terms, which isn’t all too surprising to anyone with a little world experience, but it sometimes still feels shocking because of how dominant the mainstream narrative that dependency (on certain drugs) is automatically a moral failing or represents a physical or mental shortcoming. It doesn’t have to be... The post Episode 96: The Schism of Addiction and Vice with Elizabeth Roberts appeared first on Narcotica .

  Episode 95: Behind the Speedboat Dope Bombings with Ioan Grillo

  Nov 11, 20251h 29m

  As we’ve said hundreds of times on Narcotica, the drug war is a war on people used to advance some of the worst atrocities in history.

  Despite all the nationalism in our country, veterans are too often seen as expendable. Drug use in the military is as common as any other aspect of society, obviously, but increased stigma and consequences pushes most to the shadows. Harm reduction for veterans is especially vital and luckily, the Department of Veterans Affairs is starting...

  Episode 92: The Drug War’s Invisible Casualties with Sheila Vakharia

  Aug 28, 20251h 6m

  Overdose deaths are the go-to metric for how well drug policy is performing, but those on the ground know that harms from the drug war can include much more than the worst outcomes. As harm reduction policies get swept up in escalating authoritarian attacks on democracy, it’s becoming even more vital for those who value...
